[Leica] Doisneau

[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Hi Ted, buenos dias amigo

What a nice surprise when I've opened my e-mails, thank you very much  
for your really nice compliment, you made me the day! I think in our  
days there is a photograph who has captured very nice master shots of  
the live in Paris and other places, Peter Turnley, I like very much  
his work.

I love Doineau, he is one of my favorites, or maybe the favorite, he  
is the photograph of the soul, of the nostalgia, his shots of moments  
of persons, places... are really irrepeteable. HCB is the photograph  
of the precision, the decisive moment, Doisneau captures the soul.

Thank you very much again

cheers
Lluis
